LOR147 - Lou Barnell - Bicycle Recordings
Recordings by the sound and performance artist Lou Barnell.
"I have been cycling around cities for most of my life.
When you decide to record bicycles suddenly they are everywhere- hurtling and bumping along the banks of Glen Faba, a swimming hole in Essex, or blasting along the gravelly underbelly of a tunnel amidst the tense traffic noise of the Olympic park in East London."
